i need to take the tubes out of my amp to put on a tube guard and i'm wondering what all i need to do.

Hey dude, do you have the Peavey Classic 30?

If you do..I didn't take the tubes out of mine to put on the tube guard...you just have to be pretty careful..I used a dremel to drill the holes because a regular drill wouldn't fit in there, and then an angled screwdriver sure helps....

If you don't have the Classic 30 then sorry 'bout that...just thought I'd mention it if you did.

Otherwise, I'm pretty sure you can just pull them out...but I'd probably check with somebody 'cause I've never taken mine out.

Yeah I have a classic 30. Ok My brother has a dremel, i don't know if it has a screwdriver thing but i'll see if he'll let me use it.
thanks

Sure...no problem. Actually, I just drilled the holes in there with a dremel, and then screwed the thing in by hand. It helps if you screw the screws into and then out of the holes once before you put the tube-guard on...it's easier to get the screws in there when you actually put the metal guard on there.

Did you get the guard off eBay for it? It's pretty cool looking once it's on there.
